Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This is a Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Force Design program that provides protected mobility to otherwise dismounted infantry formations and enables littoral maneuver from ship-to-shore and from shore-to-shore. Equipped with modern communications systems and weapons for infantry support-by-fire. The ACV significantly improves the ability of Fleet Marine Forces to access, seize, and hold key maritime terrain in the execution of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations. The Amphibious Combat Vehicle is imperative to realizing Marine Corps requirements for Fleet Marine Force.
The program office awarded two competitive Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contracts to two vendors to build 16 vehicles each (32 total). The program entered the acquisition cycle at Milestone B in FY 2016 and down-selected to one vendor at Milestone C in the 3rd quarter of FY 2018; the program entered Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) at Milestone C with approval for two Lots of LRIP. In an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) dated 8 Jan 2019, ASN(RD&A) authorized the program office to combine the ACV 1.1 and ACV 1.2 programs into a single ACV Family of Vehicles (FOV) that continues the phased development and procurement approach.

The R-2A exhibit. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan — and they are descriptive: coverage is partial and they do not always add back to the project, so count them, never total them. Opening lines only here — the full year-by-year narrative is on the project page.

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix.

Project detail
What project 0025 buys
This is a Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Force Design program. The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) replaces the legacy Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) battalions within the Marine Divisions. ACV-equipped Amphibious Assault (AA) companies will provide protected mobility and general support lift to elements of Marine Infantry Battalions. The ACV, an advanced generation, eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier, will mitigate current and projected capability gaps by providing improved lethality against dismounted enemy troops, more effective land and water tactical mobility, and increased force protection and survivability from blast, fragmentation, and kinetic energy threats. ACV was structured to be executed in multiple increments, with the first increment designed to provide an initial operational capability of personnel carriers (ACV-P). Subsequent increments provide additional personnel carriers and to develop Mission Role Variants (MRVs), such as command and control (ACV-C), improved lethality (ACV-30), and tactical recovery capabilities (ACV-R). In an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) dated 8 Jan 2019, ASN(RD&A) authorized the program office to combine the ACV 1.1 and ACV 1.2 programs into a single ACV Family of Vehicles (FOV) that continues the phased development and procurement approach.
